About The Snail Races
It's not just about Snails

The Snail Races is a collection of photography that is satisfying to the eyes, full of colour, dazzling detail and beautiful scenery. The photographs were taken on a father’s “adventures” with his two children in and around Toronto as well as in the countryside of Ontario. Filled with endless curiosity, the children stop to examine every nook and cranny and leave no rock unturned.

 

This book exhibits the detailed discoveries of these adventures. There are beautiful sights to be seen and exciting discoveries to be made–all through the eyes of the children, experiencing these places for the first time. There are exotic and ordinary animals as well as flowers and plants that stir memories of their sweet fragrance. There is sky and water that seem so vast. There are buildings and human-made structures that shine as examples of detailed artistry and craftsmanship. All of these and more make for a beautiful collection to enjoy.

 

The Snail Races was an actual event that happened one early, dew-filled morning when my daughter and I found over thirty snails in the garden. We moved them all to the side-walk and lined them up on the starting line. Then my daughter yelled “On your marks…get set…go!” and they were off! Like the snails, sometimes it’s nice to get really close and explore your surroundings slowly and then branch off in whatever direction your interests take you.
